Huang Xing suddenly stood up from his seat.

Isn't this beautiful woman the lady who came to their store to look at the jewelry that day and later bought the jewelry picture drawn by Miss Xu? Miss Xu later said that she was the county lord of Qingyang, born in Zhennan Wangfu, and married to the prince of England.

Later, Huang Xing also asked someone to inquire and found that what Xu Xi said was right. Moreover, this Mrs. Xiao is also a calligrapher invited by Bac Ninh Girls' Academy this year.

Could it be that this shop belongs to the king of Zhennan? Or is it a British public?

Immediately, he shook his head, sat down, and laughed at himself for thinking too much.

The county lord of Qingyang was born in Zhennan Wangfu, and married the prince of England, even if this shop is from the two mansions, there is no need for her to come and take care of it personally.

Judging from the picture of her buying jewelry and the identity of Mr. Academy, she has an intersection with that Miss Xu. At this time, I may have known that she was here, and I came to meet her to discuss things.

At the thought of it, he relaxed. However, he still sat in front of the window and did not leave, his eyes glued to the window.

In Bao Zhai, Shopkeeper Wang was whispering to Mrs. Xiao about Xu Xi's itinerary today: "...... I went to the workshop to see the craftsmanship of the craftsmen carving and inlaying jewelry. She said that if she didn't understand it clearly, she was worried that the craftsmen wouldn't be able to make the drawings she drawn. ”

As he spoke, he opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something.

"What's wrong? If you have anything to say, just say it. Mrs. Xiao glanced at the closed door.

Xu Xi was concentrating on drawing jewelry inside, so she didn't bother Xu Xi when she came, but asked Shopkeeper Wang about the situation in advance.

"Meng Juren in the jewelry industry, I don't know if the county lord knows about this person?" Wang shopkeeper said.

Xiao Ruotong frowned and thought for a long time, and finally remembered that the shopkeeper Wang seemed to have reported to her, saying that he had invited someone surnamed Meng to draw jewelry drawings.

She shook her head: "It's a little impressive, but it's not clear." ”

Seeing that Xiao Ruotong was not very clear, Shopkeeper Wang introduced Meng Juren's situation again.

Meng Juren's father was a jewelry craftsman who spent a lot of money for his son's education. Although Meng Ju is smart, he doesn't like to read, but he likes to draw, especially jewelry.

Later, when his father was old, he failed the Shishi exam several times, so he gave up his career and simply liked to draw jewelry. Because he is a scholar, his horizons and imagination are broader than those of the jewelers; He also has painting skills, and the jewelry he designs is novel and aura. He gradually became famous in the jewelry industry, and even became a master.

Xiao Ruotong wants to open a silver building, so naturally it is impossible to expect Xu Xi to help her draw jewelry drawings, after all, Xu Xi has a different identity and is in school. Therefore, the shopkeeper Wang specially spent a lot of money to invite this Meng Juren to design jewelry for Bao Zhai.

"What's wrong with him? Is it rude to Miss Xu? Xiao Ruotong frowned and asked.

Shopkeeper Wang's old face turned red, and he made a deep bow at Xiao Ruotong: "It's the villain who is not good at doing things." Miss Xu's jewelry was carved out, and Meng Juren saw it, so he asked the craftsman who carved it. I don't know who said that it was bought with a lot of money, and each cost a hundred taels of silver, and Meng Juren was not convinced. Today, Miss Xu passed, and Meng Juren learned that those jewelry were painted by Miss Xu, so he ridiculed her a few words. When the villain left with Miss Xu, Meng Juren asked someone to say that the price of the jewelry he drew would have to rise, at least a cut higher than Miss Xu's. ”

Knowing that Xiao Ruotong didn't know the market, he added: "Meng Juren turned out to be a jewelry picture of one hundred taels of silver. Now he felt that such a little girl as Miss Xu was comparable to him, and he felt that he had lost face, so he asked for it to be raised to one hundred and fifty taels. ”

Originally, as the shopkeeper, he could handle this matter by himself, and there was no need to ask Xiao Ruotong for advice. But Meng Juren offended Xu Xi, and the shopkeeper Wang knew that his master valued Xu Xi, so he brought up the matter.

"Quit." Xiao Ruotong said without thinking about it.

Seeing that Shopkeeper Wang was a little stunned, she repeated again: "Resign him." Our silver building is not without him. ”

Shopkeeper Wang had no choice but to smile bitterly.

He knew that if he asked the county lord about this, he would definitely get this answer.

This master, who was born with a golden spoon and was named the county lord since he could walk, has never been short of money, where does he know how to do business? It just depends on whether she is happy or unhappy.

A small lifter dared to give her the look on the face of the student she valued, Miss Suiping Houfu, and used this to threaten the price increase. In the eyes of the county lord, this must not be tolerated.

Remembering the princess's words that "it doesn't matter if you make money or not, the important thing is to make the county lord happy", he responded: "Yes, county lord." ”

But then he became happy again, and said to Xiao Ruotong: "County Lord, resigning Meng Juren really doesn't have much impact on us. Miss Xu's drawing of jewelry is called a fast. Usually come in the evening, and you can draw a complete production drawing in two quarters of an hour. This morning and evening, I was able to draw a few more paintings. The width is all high-quality. These are inlaid jewelry. Combined with the ones she had drawn, there were almost twenty pieces of new jewelry that we could attract customers when we opened the store. ”

Xiao Ruotong nodded with satisfaction: "She is really capable." "The jewelry drawings drawn, even a person with a high eye like her can't find fault with them, and she couldn't be more satisfied.

After understanding the situation, Xiao Ruotong did not bother Xu Xi, but asked someone to order food at the restaurant. After the restaurant brought the food and let the maid put it on the table, she asked Xiaoru to invite Xu Xilai to dinner.

During the banquet, she suddenly said: "Your painting has caused a lot of controversy in the painting world. I heard that Concubine Cen in the palace is very interested in your painting method, and it is possible to invite you into the palace to paint a portrait of her. ”

"Huh?" Xu Xi almost spilled the soup.

She put down the soup bowl and her eyes widened: "Mr. Kang, he ...... How so? ”

She thought that Mr. Kang would at most show it in a small area and not attract much attention. After all, such a painting is a bit ugly, and Mr. Kang is embarrassed to show people everywhere, right?

She really overestimated Mr. Kang's confidence in her appearance.

In addition, although she knew that this painting would be seen by the royal people sooner or later, it was very likely that she would be invited into the palace to paint a portrait of the royal people. But things didn't even have a development process, and she was a little panicked when she hit home base?

Although she has beauty and plastic surgery skills, what if? If the people in the palace are not satisfied with the drawing, and it is clicked, can she be reborn in another world?

She was about to summon the system, when she heard Xiao Ruotong say: "Don't panic, it's just that the noble concubine heard about the portrait at a royal banquet, and told my mother and them jokingly, maybe I'll forget it later?" It's not so easy to enter the palace to paint their portraits. ”

"Yes, it's better not to let strangers into the palace, it's safe." Xu Xi hurriedly nodded in agreement.

Xiao Ruotong couldn't help laughing, nodded at Xu Xi and said, "You girl." A good thing that others can't ask for, but you can't avoid it. ”
